  <li class="faq">
    <a name="faq_fibrin_q1"></a>
    </a><b>How do I use this thing?</b><br/>
	You need to <a href="#">login</a> to Fibrin and start off by telling us
	a few things (likes and dislikes) about yourself. We call these things <em>facts</em> 
	since they are facts that describe you as a person.<br/> Try to categorize
	them in any existing or new category that you think best houses the fact that you
	have entered.
  </li>
  
  <li class="faq">
    <a name="faq_fibrin_q2"></a>
    <b>How many categories can I file facts under?</b><br/>
  	Facts can be filed under any number of categories (though we currently 
	limit this to 4 categories per fact at a time).<br/> You can however submit the fact 
	multiple times to different categories (4 at a time), but we think that dilutes
	the effectiveness of your fact.
  </li>
  
  <li class="faq">
    <a name="faq_fibrin_q3"></a>
    <b>What are categories and how do I use them?</b><br/>
  Categories can be seen as tags. You can view the process of filing facts under categories as 
  tagging those facts with a particular tag, which in this case is the category
  name. A category is a tag which you may interpret in any way you see fit. For example, 
  you could have a category <i>music</i> which holds any facts about you on music, another
  category <i>music.western</i> that holds facts about you on western music, another
  category <i>music.indian</i> and so on....<br/>
  You could create a hierarchy of facts:
    <ul><li class='faq'>Music</li>
      <ul><li class='faq'>Music.Western</li>
        <ul><li class='faq'>Music.Western.Instrumental</li><li class='faq'>Music.Western.Vocal</li></ul>
      </ul>
      <ul><li class='faq'>Music.Indian</li>
        <ul><li class='faq'>Music.Indian.Instrumental</li><li class='faq'>Music.Indian.Vocal</li></ul>
      </ul>
	</ul>  
	But you would have to assign each category to the fact if you want it to be filed
	under each of them. So for example, if you wanted to file the fact <i>I love Pink Floyd</i>
	under <i>Music.Western.Rock</i> and <i>Music.Western</i> and <i>Music</i>, you'd have to
	file it under all the 3 categories. Categories are only logically hierarchical.
  </li>
  
  <li class="faq">
  	<a name="faq_fibrin_q4"></a>
  	<b>What are the limitations on a category name?</b><br/>
    Currently, category names can not contain the <b>@</b> symbol or the <b>,</b> (comma) 
    symbol and can not be greater than 41 characters in length. Other than that, your 
    imagination is the limit.
   </li>

  <li class="faq">
  	<a name="faq_fibrin_q5"></a>
  	<b>Are category names case-sensitive?</b><br/>
    The short answer is <em>No</em>. The longer answer is <em>Nah</em>. The even
    longer answer is <em>Nope</em>. And the long answer is <em>Nopsie</em>.
   </li>
   
   <li class="faq">
   	 <a name="faq_fibrin_q6"></a>
   	 <b>What are the limitations on a fact?</b><br/>
     Currently, a fact can not be longer than 400 characters, but we think this is more 
     than enough for you to express a single focused fact about yourself. If this is a 
     limitation, we shall re-consider this limit.
   </li>
   
   <li class="faq">
     <a name="faq_fibrin_q7"></a>
     <b>Where do I post feedback/comments/feature requests/bugs for Fibrin?</b><br/>
  	 Good news! We have our own <a href="/forums/">forum</a> that's integrated with the 
  	 facts that you enter! Please see the FAQ items about the forum to see how that 
  	 works. But for the impatient, you can file:
  	 <ul>
  	   <li class='faq'>Feedback at <a href="/forums/?categories=fibrin.feedback">fibrin.feedback</a></li>
  	   <li class='faq'>Feature requests at <a href="/forums/?categories=fibrin.featurerequests">fibrin.featurequests</a></li>
  	   <li class='faq'>Bugs at <a href="/forums/?categories=fibrin.bugs">fibrin.bugs</a></li>
  	 </ul>
  	 and don't forget to also tag them with <i>fibrin</i> if you want all readers
  	 of <i>fibrin</i> to see them!

    <b>How is this forum organized? It looks a little different..</b><br/>
  	You are right. We decided to build these forums in a different and a more 
  	humanly natural way to use. You can tag every thread of discussion with 
  	a category (what you are essentially doing is categorizing the thread) and
  	that thread will show up whenever that category is a part of the <a href="/faq/#faq_forums_q2">
  	view filter</a> for a user.
  </li>
  
  <li class="faq">
    <a name="faq_forums_q2"></a>
    <b>What is a view filter?</b><br/>
    A view filter is a filter consisting of a list of categories. Only those threads 
    that are tagged with any one of those categories will show up in a filter 
    containing those categories.<br/>
    For example, if your view filter contains the categories 
    <a href="/forums/?categories=music,entertainment,bicycling,politics">music, entertainment, 
    bicycling and politics</a>, you will see only those threads that are tagged with 
    at least one of the 4 tags above.
  </li>
  
  <li class="faq">
    <a name="faq_forums_q3"></a>
    <b>How does this help me?</b><br/>
    This sort of categorization helps when you want to filter either across 
    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_market">verticals</a> or 
    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_market">horizontals</a> 
    in topics. You can perform free-form queries and get exactly those views that 
    you are interested in!
  </li>
  
  <li class="faq">
    <a name="faq_forums_q4"></a>
    <b>Are there any limitations on the number of categories a thread can be tagged with?</b>
    <br/>
    Currently, we allow you to tag a thread with up to 40 categories. If this proves to 
    be insufficient, we will increase the limit.
  </li>
